Dear Coffeebean,

You can do this a few ways, but the best way is typically using a carbide concrete drill bit and a cordless hammer drill and the correct Tapcon screw. These screws are made for concrete and are painted blue. As others have said, most folks have a handy neighbor close by who would do this for you, sometimes for the cost of one cold beer.....

They do make hardened concrete nails...I have used them before. You do need to be a bit careful with using them, and always wear eye protection.
